Why Salesforce?
| Technology | Description |
|---|---|
| Multitenant architecture | An application model in which all users and apps share a single, common infrastructure and code base. |
| Metadata-driven development model | An app development model that allows apps to be defined as declarative “blueprints,” with no code required. Data models, objects, forms, workflows, and more are defined by metadata. |
| API Access | Several application programming interfaces (APIs) provide direct access to all data stored in Force.com from virtually any programming language and platform.
|
| Apex | The world’s first on-demand programming language, which runs in the cloud on the Force.com platform servers. |
| Visualforce | A framework for creating feature-rich user interfaces for apps in the cloud. |
| Mobile Access | With Salesforce mobile apps, you can access custom apps built using the Force.com platform’s point-and-click development tools. Your users can access those apps on their mobile devices—and you don’t have to learn any mobile programming languages. |
| AppExchange directory | A Web directory where hundreds of Force.com apps are available to Salesforce customers to review, demo, comment upon, and/or install. Developers can submit their apps for listing on the AppExchange directory if they want to share them with the community. |
